Someone here doesn't know the Bible. The Tower of Babel wasn't a good thing. The people of Babel were arrogant and thought they could build a tower to reach heaven. God was displeased, so He created all of the different languages so they couldn't work together to do this again.
Genesis 11:
4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
Well that's some liberal logic there .... Does the post say Andrew Torba wants to support the Tower of Babel (FakeBook) and start his bible study (Gab) in the tower's basement?
NO ... The post says they/we need a separate place where we are not persecuted.
Honestly, WTF does any of your verses have to do with anything that Torba said other than the name Babel!?!?
Yep, everyone’s a critic. Quote made sense to me. Don’t settle for bullshit crumbs from non believers, God gives us the authority to make our own world.
First sentence says the Lord never told us to assimilate with the enemy and try to change them from within.
Second sentence references Matthew 5:14
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
He's saying quit feeding the beast in hopes of changing the devil's ways, you're misleading yourself. We have to stand on our own and build our own platforms.
Imagine if people got OFF of social media, and took to the streets and loved one another.
Glide into the businesses with a smile, and kind words.
Invade the parks with love and kindness.
Social media tried to destroy humanity
Why support any of it.
Destroy social media
Perhaps use it a bit, to help it destroy itself.
This applies to boob tube programming as well.
So done with the old Earth.
New heavens, new earths unfolding; as written.
You do realize there's almost no difference between being on "social media" and spending your morning on GAW in the eyes of the almighty, right?
Not that you're wrong but unfortunately most people aren't going to do that but they could at least support an institution that doesn't openly profess to hate them.
I'm not USING CHRISTIANS to BAIL OUT a "social media" company. I'm drawing parallels between what he said and the two groups of people it directly affects but let's look at it from your point of view ....
Has Fakebook and Twatter been linked to pedophilia?
That's an astounding, "hell yeah".
Why won't Christians migrate from Fakebook?
In my wife's case, because the kids post shit on Fakebook way before they call about it. We would have missed my granddaughter's 2nd birthday if she wasn't on Fakebook because that's where the baby's mother posted the announcement and ASSUMED everyone would see it. No phone call or text.
What's the solution?
Become active in building a platform to replace it.
So yes ... every muddah lovin, red blooded, American should support Gab because of the free speech but there are a few of us ... special interest groups ... that should make it a priority before we have no voice.
The solution would be to build a stronger relationship so that they do call you for events like that. You’re just putting a bandaid on the real problem, which is a weak relationship, between a mother and daughter no less.
So in your eyes only certain forms of communication equate to a strong relationship?
My mother lives hundreds of miles away, so I speak to her on the phone several times a week. She also posts photos on facebook a couple of times a week which I check out and comment on. I'm grateful for the ability to do both.
I would prefer to use Gab for photo sharing, to support a Christian-run platform rather than a satanic-run one. But in terms of relationship, facebook is my only way to stay up to date with my mother's photos, and those photos are a positive part of our relationship, just as our phone calls are.
Hopefully in the long term more and more people will migrate to Gab, though.
Bullshit but thanks for projecting your home life onto mine ... she isn't even our daughter and our son now lives in another state ... It's not that she didn't call us, it's that she thought to call nobody.
She made some sort of event of Facebook and just expected people to see it ... they communicate differently.
Never said that. For some reason you took my response as an attack. Whatever it is you’re going through, it’s not my problem. Building good relationships is not bad advice, so why act like it is?
These kids have a phone I pay for and use Facebook messenger to make video calls instead of the damn phone.
Ok. I don’t care how you communicate. At least you’re communicating.
Do you even have a point here or did you just have a shitty day?
It was an attack. You immediately decided that anyone that uses social media is somehow suffering from not being able to communicate, evidenced by your first post.
You’re just putting a bandaid on the real problem, which is a weak relationship
Even in your last post your demeanor is condescending
I don’t care how you communicate. At least you’re communicating.
At least I'm communicating?!?!?
Actually, none of your replies to my thread have anything to do with the OP they are all just different ways of you pretending like I asked you for advice as pertains to communication with my family.
So, what happened to gab yesterday? I can't log back into it. I still get the 'Invalid Email or password' notification'. When I ask for a reset option to be sent to my email...it never shows up.
I still can't get back on gab. I created a new gab account and the 'new' account immediately showed up in place of the old in my saved tabs. The new also had me following 5 people the instant I logged in, including Franklin Graham??? I think Graham is a hack, and I would never follow him.
This is how he* does it, if we see them suffering persecution because of their faith, they must be on our side, the side of the LORD, right?
Kinda like when he* makes the republicans offer a meaningless, laughable gesture to defund planned parenthood, all the bimbos think they are fighting for us, right?
I'm not USING CHRISTIANS to BAIL OUT a "social media" company. I'm drawing parallels between what he said and the two groups of people it directly affects ...
I think you read a lot into that to fit your need to lecture me on Christian morals.
GAW is social media. By posting on here you are supporting GAW. That doesn't make GAW a staple of Christianity it just means that (as a Christian, dare I say) you support GAW over it's Reddit or 4Chan predecessor.
The same applies to Fakebook/Gab .... Until others support it we'll be reliant on the cesspool that is Fakebook and it will never really be replaced

.... Effing Snopes employees shit posting on GAW
Yep, everyone’s a critic. Quote made sense to me. Don’t settle for bullshit crumbs from non believers, God gives us the authority to make our own world.
I think you need to reread Torba's post a little closer. He's not saying what you think he's saying.
Maybe you should reread the quote ...
First sentence says the Lord never told us to assimilate with the enemy and try to change them from within.
Second sentence references Matthew 5:14
He's saying quit feeding the beast in hopes of changing the devil's ways, you're misleading yourself. We have to stand on our own and build our own platforms.
Exactly how I read it too. Don't know what others who think the opposite are smoking.
.... does dang dern hopium ahdiks ...
He's saying don't stay on facebook and twitter in the hopes of changing it.
Yeah, this quote is pretty innacurate.
The current iteration of the internet is the new Babylon, complete with ai translation to get around that “annoying little curse” of God.
We should not participate in the Babylon economy for the scraps.
What would people do if the internet was turned off completely? (see Revelation for a glimpse.)
Imagine if people got OFF of social media, and took to the streets and loved one another.

Very wells said, thank you.

Ok, let me re-phrase the last sentence since you missed the point....
Why is that? You can change that. If you don’t want to, fine.
God forbid you actually build a relationship with your not daughter.
What's a good way to build a relationship .... learn to communicate in ways the other party is comfortable with.
These kids have a phone I pay for and use Facebook messenger to make video calls instead of the damn phone.
Hey, have it your way though ... I have a bad family life

You are incorrect.
I've seen multiple pro-Christian comments and scriptures shared by Torba. I've seen nothing anti-Christian shared by Torba.
May God continue to bless him.
So, what happened to gab yesterday? I can't log back into it. I still get the 'Invalid Email or password' notification'. When I ask for a reset option to be sent to my email...it never shows up.
I had to log back in but mine works fine now

I have been saying that since GAB began. ?
Great post. Good info
This is how he* does it, if we see them suffering persecution because of their faith, they must be on our side, the side of the LORD, right?

When did this happen?
Yes, it was hacked last night and several verified accounts were requesting bitcoin for about an hour before they took it down.
How'd you get your account back after it was hacked to delete the profile?
Gab is Christian run, but it's inaccurate to describe it as a staple of Christianity.
OMG ... did anyone, anywhere, ever, in the history of Gab ever call it a "staple of Christianity"?!?!?
What post did you read?
I think you read a lot into that to fit your need to lecture me on Christian morals.
GAW is social media. By posting on here you are supporting GAW. That doesn't make GAW a staple of Christianity it just means that (as a Christian, dare I say) you support GAW over it's Reddit or 4Chan predecessor.
The same applies to Fakebook/Gab .... Until others support it we'll be reliant on the cesspool that is Fakebook and it will never really be replaced
You are a hater with incorrect information. I have known Andrew for more than 4 years.
There isn't an app. Apple banned them from the iStore. Google banned them from the Android store.
Gab is a website.
